Montag - The Phoenix The Phoenix is a bird that “falls and dies” in the fire, but always rises back up from the ashes. It represents the renewal of life after death within the ashes from the burning, and Montag can relate to this. The Phoenix is a good symbol for Montag because, at the end of the book, Montag joins the people, and they give the city a rebirth and brings the city out of the ashes. He also mentions that humans and the Phoenix can relate, because they both kill/destroy…

Imagine the world without books - even worse, imagine that everything you did read is unimportant and irrelevant. Books encourage conversation, spark controversy, and forge friendships and relationships between peoples. But why do we read books?
